Vor these migrator* the shop keeiiers display the tirHt ?tra\v lu;ts ?>f the season. The hats to 1h? hw>ii mostly at the present tliue are, of course, forerun ners of what we "stay at homos" will wear In t lit* lute Spring ami Hummer. The majority are of Hllk, with an un dcrfaclng of straw, or Milk, trimmed with a band of straw. In many cases the crowns of the hats are of ?llk, I while the brims may he of straw. The ail-Htraw hats uro mostly of a rough, coarfl? straw and trimmed with gros graln rihl>on. Small hats, like the small sailors, Scotch kepis, miniature trlcones and turbans, are the order of the day. The torptnlo turban is among the novelties, made long with a crease front ,and hack. A striking model is made of barnyard straw and shaiHHl similarly to a four-cornered box. The top of the hat Is slightly lifted, like the lid of a box, showing a hunch of ribbons pro truding. A bow of ribbon on tho lid ending in long streamers completes the model. The latest hats show a strong prefer ence for ribbon trimming, usually dls lK?sed of in bows and streamers, and pgaln gathered and shirred. They are sometimes looi>ed around tho crown of a hat In loo]>s the slee of a cartridge, thus forming a cartridge belt around the crown. The English, so-called "pill-box," hats are to be seen as well as others with a raised crown. These vie in i>op ularity with some flat shapes, one In elegantly called in the trude the "fried egg" shape. As a concession to the military spir it are hats similar to the Scotch kepi and othecu In imitation of the French Infantry cap, made up in red silk with a small shield ; the crown tapers and is dented In on ono side, with gold braid embroidered on the top. Another military hat, a cross be tween the French i>ollco bonnet and. the Austrian infantry cap, is made with a peak in front, where the only trimming consists of a -brass button, ? ?> MoT a i.i. /-A? . ... ^ V - ?

With*, these jackets afe worn Hkirts which flare at the lower edge; they are cut circular, two' or three-piece, and not long ago I saw a skirt which bad nine gores to its credit. Many skirts are made with a yoke which is Close-fitting over the hips and with the lower section of the skirt put onto the yoke Without a gather or a wrinkle. Other, skirts are' made with an upper and d lower section, the up per section close-fitting, while the low er section to made ho. that the flare at the lower edge is decided. - The dresses which are on the nioyen atfe order still hold sway among the tall and lithesome figures/ to whom it is especially becoming. _ The jumper models are both practi cal and smart, and are a method of leveloping a dress which will afford many changes in the way of various gulmpes of flilk, of net, or of chiffon.
